The study demonstrated that AlGaInP solar cells grown by molecular beam epitaxy showed improved performance after rapid thermal annealing, matching the efficiency of cells grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The performance of wider-bandgap AlGaInP solar cells also improved with RTA treatment, but the improvement decreased with increasing %Al/bandgap energy.
We demonstrate 2.0-2.2 eV AlGaInP solar cells grown by molecular beam epitaxy and their performance improvement by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). As grown, these cells exhibit lower performance than their counterparts grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), indicating a high concentration of point defects. RTA improves all aspects of performance, enabling our 2.0 eV cells to match the efficiency of MOVPEgrown cells. RTA also improves the performance of wider-bandgap AlGaInP solar cells, but the magnitude of improvement decreases with %Al/bandgap energy.
